German police arrested terrorists as part of an investigation into a European network that sought to finance terrorism in Syria via Turkey, according to the German website Deutsche Welle.

The suspect, whom the prosecution referred to as Erman K., is accused of collecting financial donations in Europe for the Syrian militant HTS mercenaries through a website he established.

The arrest comes on the heels of a German police operation last week that saw the arrest of three others on similar charges, including the main suspect (Underder A), a German citizen believed to be of Turkish origin.

According to the website, (Erman K.) allegedly was in direct contact with HTS mercenaries in April and May 2020, while Underer A was accused of traveling to Turkey to support the group.
